Alexia Wellbelove

Campaigns Director

Alexia has worked in environment and marine conservation for over 25 years in both the UK and Australia. Over that time, she has developed a particular focus and passion on marine mammals and albatrosses and the numerous threats they face. This led to working on the reform of Australia’s environment laws for over a decade, including establishing the Places You Love alliance and securing reform of Australia’s nature laws in 2025 after campaigning for more than a decade for stronger laws. 

A zoologist by training, Alexia is passionate about sharing her love of nature and the need to protect it. Alexia has a strong background in campaigns that address conservation concerns, fisheries bycatch and wildlife trade. Some of her favourite career moments include getting important protections in place in Australian waters for the Australian sea lion, getting improved protection for sharks in Australia and globally, and continuing to be part of the international advocacy to ensure the conservation of whales is a priority, not whaling. 

Alexia has been at the Australian Marine Conservation Society since May 2022, and prior to stepping into the Campaigns Director role, Alexia was AMCS’ Campaigns Manager – Fisheries and Threatened Species.
